Who is Investors in People Accreditation For?

Investors in People works with organisations of all sizes and sectors that want to invest seriously in their people. The people who most commonly drive the accreditation conversation are HR Directors and people leaders, Chief Executives and senior leaders, and wellbeing leads and heads of wellbeing. Each role has a different relationship with the accreditation but all benefit from the same thing: independent, practitioner-led evidence that their people practices are real and working.

Yes. The framework is designed for organisations of all sizes. It is non-prescriptive and outcome-based, which means it adapts to what your organisation does rather than imposing a fixed model. Many of our accredited organisations have fewer than 250 employees. The accreditation journey starts where it makes sense for your organisation and builds at your pace.

We Invest in People assesses how your organisation leads, supports and develops its people across nine indicators covering leadership, performance and capability. We Invest in Wellbeing focuses specifically on your culture of health and wellbeing across three indicators. The two accreditations are designed to work together as a combined assessment for organisations that want a complete picture of their people practices.

The best starting point is a conversation with one of our practitioners. They will take the time to understand your organisation, your priorities and your challenges, and recommend the approach that makes most sense for where you are now. There is no obligation and no hard sell. If you are not sure, select "I would like some guidance" on the enquiry form and we will take it from there.

Yes, and it is usually better when they are. HR Directors, CEOs and wellbeing leads often engage with the process together, which means the findings land more effectively across the organisation and the business case is built collaboratively rather than carried by one person. Your practitioner will advise on who to involve and when.
